If Poland forms an alliance with The Nazis against the communist threat then the answer is yes.

In light of the election going on in Israel I believe the most pivotal moment in Israel the past decade was the stroke that disabled Ariel Sharon at a moment when he "saw the light" so to speak and realized that Israel could not remain a democracy for long if it continued the Occupation. What...

I think we are all missing the most substantial event to occur in the US in the past Century . The passing into law of the Federal Reserve system that has led to a cyclical wave of depressions every decade. Without the Federal Reserve we would still be under the Gold System and not be subjected...

How would WW2have progressed if France had launched an all out attack all along the Rhineland after declaring war on September 1, 1939? At that moment with almost all German divisions preoccupied in Poland they had a huge numerical superiority of over 100 full strength equipped divisors going up...

How would Lincoln have been viewed following the CW if he has survived and went through with his plans to not impose any reparations or vendetta on the rebels?

So the only way Dems ever regain control of congress again is with a deeply unpopular Rep President. The only way a Rep regains the Presidency again is with another Recession or major scandal. Which odds seem more likely to you?

This question is very much a Pandora's box argument but following an epic midterm loss and the GOP more powerful, more vengeful and more intractable that ever, would the Democrats have been better off letting McCain win the 2008 election, allowing them to push all the blame on him for the...

Let me rephrase I in no way am implying that Bellicheck ever ends up as Jets head coach. The most likely scenario is he has to sit out a season and comes back the next year as say Rams defensive coordinator.

How would the Patriot dynasty have played out if either Bob Kraft have refused the Jets demand for a first round pick or if the Jets had not dropped their demands for two number ones? Would their second choice Gary Crowton have even come close to having the same success? Would he bring much of...

But didn't Obama have a very negative drop in his approval rating, to the point where he was below 50 % for the first time in history? You would think by not acting and letting the economy crash and burn both parties would take the blame? And couldn't the GOP simply say we will not approve any...

Anyone have an opinion?

What would be the result if at the 11th hour President Obama and Speaker Boehner were not able to negotiate an extension of the debt ceiling and the United States defaulted on its credit? What would be the impact to the economy and the US standing in the world? Who would get more of the blame...

What would be the political consequences if Democrats after taking control of Congress had voted no on the Surge and on any future funding for the Iraq War. With the country tethering on the brink of collapse this undoubtably would have tipped it over, so would Bush have been able to paint them...

As an aside does Bush alienate mainstream Conservatives enough that they try to primary him? And if that fails do they coalesce around a staunch conservativ of their choosing to run Asa 3rd party like Bob Dole or Howard Baker?

Let us assume that the bullet that Hinkley fired was a direct hit on Reagan's heart and he died within a few days of said injury. George H.W Bush obviously takes over as President but without a template or obvious initiative. Now we know the myriad disagreements he had with Reagan in the...
